An Update On The Dead Nation Patch + A Small Tease

Ian Fisher writes: Amongst the list of things Dead Nation did right (tight controls, satisfying combat) there was one main thing people wanted in the game: voice chat during online co-op. Housemarque went on record saying that they were going to add voice chat via a patch, but considering that it’s been three months since the game came out, many were beginning to wonder if the patch was cancelled. Thankfully, the patch for Dead Nation is still on deck and Housemarque also has some other exciting news for us in the future.

I plan to snag Stardust VR soon. It is on PSN sale for cheap.

FTLmaster1117d ago

Do it! It’s a seriously addictive experience. Housemarque is the master of modern arcade classic gameplay. Curious to see how Returnal turns out tbh.

Knushwood Butt1117d ago

Thanks. Downloaded it and will be playing it shortly.

Pre-ordered Returnal too.

P_Bomb1117d ago

Loved Alienation. Good co-op!

Knushwood Butt1117d ago (Edited 1117d ago )

Yep, had a lot of fun playing it with my kids. Although they always fight over the drops.

The VR version of Stardust is an incredible experience, even for those that get VR sickness, the game gives you the feeling of floating in the vastness of space, but the motion sickness is removed, its colorful, flashy, and amazing to play

Damn it sucks they won't be doing any SP games anymore.

arkard2344d ago

Agreed, I found d their games to be fun and enjoyable... To bad I seem to be the minority.

TGG_overlord2344d ago

Well, I haven't played all of their games, but "Nex Machina" is pretty darn cool imo.

BrianOBlivion2344d ago

I didn't read that. I've read that while they are planning to expand into multiplayer, the only thing they've decided to give up on is the top-down arcade shooter style of games because the last couple have sold in decreasing amounts.
Too bad for me as I've enjoyed most of their games. Now I feel bad that I didn't buy Matterfall but I just didn't like the addition of platforming into the mix.
I haven't read anywhere that those MP games wouldn't include SP.

"I didn't read that. I've read that while they are planning to expand into multiplayer, the only thing they've decided to give up on is the top-down arcade shooter style of games because the last couple have sold in decreasing amounts."

- Ah, now I got what @TheOttomatic91 meant with "Damn it sucks they won't be doing any SP games anymore.". Well, to be fair, "Matterfall" isn't exactly one of their better titles...

Einhander19712343d ago (Edited 2343d ago )

Um don't expect anything good from these guys anymore.

Atticus_finch2343d ago

IDK what to expect. Me and my GF love HM hopefully they keep making couch coop games.
